He got fired after 2008 and was relegated to administrative duties. He’d have likely stayed there if Butch hadn’t come calling. He was nowhere close to a hot item back then. Clawsen, on the other hand, immediately found gainful employment after 2008.I'm not a fan of DeBord. He didn't utilize Kamara or Dobbs as well as he should have
I don’t think Kamara was his call and I disagree about Dobbs. He had only so high a ceiling as a passer and I think he got the max out of it. No one should argue with how he used his mobility. What I liked was how he got the most out that OL in consideration of the scheme and OL coach he was limited with. Will always believe that he had gotten the go-ahead to mix in more of the offset I that was unleashed on Northwestern...and then Butch reneged. That mix with the spread would have maximized the talent on the roster imo.I'm not a fan of DeBord. He didn't utilize Kamara or Dobbs as well as he should have
What on earth did you just say? So many acronyms and percentages that a man with a 6 o'clock cocktail just can't keep up.
Our line was poor and that's not his fault so your right there. But in my opinion he didn't run Dobbs enough. Particularly on those zone reads, if he let Dobbs actually keep it on those it would have been more effective. The way we ran it was just a delayed handoff behind a poor offensive line. I also think Dobbs had a higher ceiling than we thought as evidenced by him sticking around on the Steelers for all this time.I don’t think Kamara was his call and I disagree about Dobbs.

You can overdo carries. And the zone read is on the QUARTERBACK...he’s the one reading the defense.Our line was poor and that's not his fault so your right there.

Chaney personally told me how they solved the Compton thing.Wonder how much that was of Cheney and how much that was of Kiffin?
Chaney freaking loves it here.Someone explain to me why Chaney would leave Kirby and Georgia to come work with Pruitt at Tennessee?
Do you really believe that play calling, play design, and other things an OC is responsible for have nothing to do with a QB confidently delivering a pass on target? Some have mentioned Helton's impact on JG and possibly the OL last year. I am not sure it is quantifiable... but I am sure it is real in both cases.Play calling didnt have Crompton throwing half his passes to the stands or 5 yards in front of the WR.
In Crompton's case, I think it mattered. He was physically fine, but spent a lot of his career with the game moving too fast. Maybe he was just a guy who couldn't make reads, but having 4 OCs and 3 systems couldn't have helped.Do you really believe that play calling, play design, and other things an OC is responsible for have nothing to do with a QB confidently delivering a pass on target?
